Hey All,
Not sure If I should post this here or in the GT350 threads.
I have a '16 GT Base which I have kept in very good condition (just under 12K miles so far and have enjoyed every single mile. The car still feels new to me) and lately have been thinking about the GT350 or possibly getting a supercharger for the GT.
Did a quick KBB search and the estimate came around 30 to 33K (around what I paid for it b4 financing when new) and I could kind of believe that with the current market of used cars.
That could be a good trade towards a GT350, saw a '18 with less then 7K miles on it for around $63K. With a just a few thousand more down, I might be able to slip into the 350 for around just under 30K b4 financing. Very tempting.
But of course the best thing about my current GT is that it is paid off.
The other thing that I have been thinking about is the future is going electric and supposedly Gas Engines will stop being produced in another 10 to 15 years or so they say.
Now, between a GT and GT350, of course the 350 will always be worth more even if the GT is Supercharged and kept in pristine condition.
But if Gas Engines and especially V8 based sports car become more rare in the future, I wonder if even a simple car like a Base GT has the potential to be worth more compared to world in which Electric didn't take over (depending on the condition of the car of course)?
I guess I am asking which route to take would be better, hold on to the GT and possibly get a Supercharger (not necessary just something I would like to do) or bite the bullet and get a beautiful 350 (wish I could go for a R but that one might be out of budget).
I really do love my GT but the allure of the 350 is always beckoning me.
What do you all think?
